As the aging U.S. population grows and dementia rates rise, dental professionals are increasingly on the front lines of managing the complex oral health needs of older adults—many of whom remain dentate, experience xerostomia inducing medications, and face elevated risks for caries and periodontal disease. This dynamic course explores the powerful links between periodontal disease, the oral microbiome, inflammation, and Alzheimer’s Disease, while equipping clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies to deliver effective homecare guidance, reduce care-resistant behaviors, and optimize nonsurgical interventions for patients with dementia. Participants will leave with clearer clinical decision-making pathways and actionable protocols to elevate care for one of dentistry’s most vulnerable and rapidly expanding patient populations.


Learning Objectives

  • ​Examine current scientific insights into the prevalence, etiology, and progression of dementia to strengthen clinical awareness and diagnostic confidence.
  • Identify and clearly communicate the emerging connections between periodontal disease, oral pathogens, and neuroinflammatory pathways linked to Alzheimer’s Disease.
  • Apply practical, patient centered strategies to improve communication, reduce care resistant behaviors, and deliver effective oral hygiene and dental treatment to individuals with dementia.
  • ​Assess individual risk factors and oral health status to design targeted, evidence-based interventions that reduce caries and periodontal disease in cognitively impaired patients.

The Biological Turbo: Accelerate Bone Regeneration via RAP and Bioactive Composite Grafts Webinar Thumbnail

Presenter: Nabeel Cajee, DDS, MICOI

Thursday, June 11, 2026

7:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. CT • 5:00 p.m. MT • 4:00 p.m. PT)

Provider: Conexiant Education

Commercial Supporter: Impladent

COST: $0.00

CDE CREDITS: 1 Live/Interactive

DESCRIPTION:

In traditional bone grafting, we often treat the body as a passive recipient of material. This webinar challenges that paradigm by exploring the Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon (RAP) a transient state of high-tissue turnover and increased angiogenesis triggered by surgical stimulus. Dr. Nabeel Cajee will demonstrate how to intentionally activate this "biological turbo" to significantly shorten the healing timeline. The session focuses on the synergy between RAP and unique bioactive composite grafts. Unlike traditional bovine or synthetic grafts that can lead to long-term "sand" encapsulation, the resorption profile of bioactive composite grafts is synchronized with the RAP-induced metabolic surge, resulting in faster transition to vital, load-bearing bone.


Learning Objectives

  • Master the science of the Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon, including the cellular mechanisms that drive accelerated bone modeling and remodeling following cortical injury.
  • Analyze the mineralogical advantages of calcium Phosphate crystals, specifically their non-ceramic nature and how their porosity facilitates the rapid vascularization required during a RAP event.
  • Discover surgical "decortication" and stimulus techniques designed to maximize the RAP response while minimizing patient morbidity.
  • Evaluate case studies comparing traditional grafting timelines against the RAP and composite graft protocol, focusing on bone density and the time-to-implant placement.
